ARLINGTON, Mass. — A bald eagle has died at the Cape Wildlife Center after officials said they believe the bird ingested a rat that ate poison. The eagle, named MK, was rescued Monday <https://www.wmur.com/article/massachusetts-bald-eagle-rat-poison-228/43127220> after locals saw it nesting in a cemetery in Arlington, Massachusetts, and noticed she was spending a lot of time on the ground.

That said -- the method one uses and the reason why one chooses to dispatch an animal are highly personal. Personally, I do not take that action lightly. 1. you do not have to use anti-freeze 2. they are sold at Ace Hardware not some "hillbilly solution" 3. they are ORGANIC with no pesticides to harm domestic animals or apex predator birds 4. they have been recommended by Mother Jones and farming extension schools.
